WILKES-BARRE, Pa. —  A 41-year-old man stormed a beauty salon and bludgeoned four grandmothers with a hammer, fracturing one's skull, before making off with less than $90, police said.

Thomas Leyshon III, of Mountain Top, was arrested after a daylong manhunt Friday.

The women, aged 56 to 76, did not resist but were beaten anyway, witnesses said. At least one required surgery.

"It takes a coward to go after some old women," said Andy Chopka, grandson of victim Jeanna Chopka.

Authorities allege Leyshon attacked a co-owner of Hairem Family Hair and Nail Care while demanding money from the register and the women's purses.

"This is a completely senseless act of brutality against women who were doing nothing more than spending a day at the beauty parlor," prosecutor David Lupas said. "These are ... the most vulnerable of victims."

Leyshon was being held Saturday on $100,000 bail. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.

The victims were treated at hospitals for head and facial injuries.

HAMMERTIME!

HE needs to die NOW!
And painfully, at that!

If only one of them had grabbed up a can of hairspray and a Bic lighter, justice would be swift.

but...but.....they were at the beauty parlor.....i mean why would anyone want to go about armed in their daily life?

Crime "isnt" suppost to happen in these places.

It takes a very brave man to attack women that way.      

TSSS

Overweight white guy.

Sorry to dissapoint you.

I view this shitbird the same way I view the assfucker who clocked an old man in the back of the head in a McDonald's and mugged him: experimental surgery volunteers.

Hang him and then ban all hammers because it was obviously the hammer's fault.

What's that all about?

Quoted: If any of those women had been my grandmother, that guy would need a helluva lot more than a lawyer.

Like a mortician.

dupe!!!!11!!

Hey I haven't gotten to pull a dupe call in a while..Plus i did a search beore starting MY thread

After they recover, equip all four old ladies with their choice of ballpeen or claw hammer.

Strip the guy down to his underwear, and turn them loose in him.

It'll take a putty knife and a firehose to clean up all that's left of Mr Leyshon.

90% of the time somebody posts the question like that they're implying it's a black guy or hispanic guy.

If you didn't mean that, sorry I jumped to conclusions.

It takes a coward.

Oh shoot, I just got pwn3d.  My earlier search retrieved nothing using key words 'grandmother' and 'hammer'.

You had to ruin the fun.

Now I doubt this thread will get more than 2 pages. If he were black, probably 10. With most posts stating "I cant say what I really want because CoC..." or something similar.

$100,000 bail are you serious, anyone willing to bludgeon elderly women is a flight risk.

It's Wilkes-Barre. Not a whole lot of minorities there. They're something like 7% of the population, all minority groups, combined.

My idea is better.

Put him in a stadium full of angry feminists. Tell him, "Mr. Leyshon, if you can get to the far end of the field,  you can go free."
